My husband and I fell in love with the Chine after coming here three years ago for our anniversary and have been coming back several times a year since for weekend breaks. We returned with great excitement in Nov 2011 for our regular birthday treat and were completely dissapointed. The staff were rude at the front desk and completely unhelpful... More

I can honestly say this is the most friendly, accommodating hotel I have ever stayed in. On arrival at reception you are hit with the wow factor. The reception staff were just fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble for any of them. We were on the 3rd floor so had to take the lift. What a blast from... More

Managed to book a two night stay at this hotel for the duration of my friend's wedding. It proved to be a wonderful experience kick started with a relaxing time in the pool and outdoor hot tub! The room was comfortable with a nice fresh en-suite, and the staff were friendly and helpful! Would love to go back some time... More

Reception staff most cheerful and accommodating. Lovely room with a view and gorgeous surroundings, perfect for a one night. Swimming pool and jacuzzi well kept and a great opportunity to relax. There was a wedding going on during the day which extended into the evening making it very noisy downstairs well into the wee hours. The dining room was exceptionally... More

The whole long weekend was a good one from check-in to check-out - though not perfect. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely, clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. The pools were fine and breakfast was OK. The only thing that let it down was a poor dinner on the Saturday night. Does it... More

Stayed over easter for a family get together. Room was dated but clean. Did not have evening meal but breakfast on the first morning was below average. Quite noisy with a lot of door banging. Lovely view but for £273 for 2 nights I expected that. Breakfast on the second morning was better but nothing to write home about. Won't... More

We stayed for 2 nights in the Easter holidays with our 6 year old daughter. The hotel is lovely and we had the most fantastic view from our room. The outdoor pool was amazing. it was like a bath. I even went in and it was only about 11 degrees outside! I really have never come across such friendly staff.... More

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable, well equipped and with enough space for 4. The heated pool was lovely for the children on a day when we'd left the snow behind 'up north'!!! Breakfasts are good enough to start the day and an evening meal there is of good quality with...

First impressions were good apart from the parking which was very poor! The front desk staff were very helpful and gave all the necessary information to make our stay a good one. We were a bit disapointed with the room size in comparisson to the cost as it wasn't that big and the cot we had wasn't good quality. Some... More

stayed one night on a travelzoo deal which was a real bargain! We had a super room overlooking the sea, and the gardens and walkway to the beach were beautiful-it was a real bonus being so close to the sea, We had our evening meal in the reataurant which was of a high standard and with very good service, The...
